Ships Project News

Submitted by tcowley on 22 October, 2012 - 12:08

FAS volunteers working on the Ships Project trace the lives of every convict on a ship, finding marriages, births and deaths of the convicts and their children. They also trace any AIF descendants - ie, those who fought in WWI. It is very interesting, but time-consuming research.

As this project needs to be completed by the end of July 2013, we can no longer accept new volunteers to this project.
